I'm Lytha from West Seattle, Washington. I moved to NRW, Germany in 2007 and married a wonderful German man who understands my love of horses and fulfilled my dream of living the last 2/3 of my life in the country, with my horse in my backyard.

J and Bellis
If only everyone knew how awesome donkeys are. We'd all have them!
Teresa, Mine has always shared a stall with a horse, a 10X10 stall. Of course the door is never shut, so they choose when to share it, that makes a difference. But it makes me happy that they choose to share such a tiny space.
A donkey however can be very loud when upset, so best to never leave them alone if your neighbors are close. Irish will keep her company. I say her cuz boys are even louder, in general. Do you remember when we had a male donkey here, and they would mate regularly in plain view of the street? Embarrassing.
There's a donkey about a mile from here, the whole valley knows when she wants something, it echos. I love the sounds. Also: who will complain about my yappy dogs with THAT sounding off several times a day?
The highest honor on our farm is being Sparky's (the donkey) friend. With zero exceptions, every horse that has had the opportunity to share a pasture with him adores him.
Agreed! Donkeys are awesome!!! I'm trying to get caught up on your blog while stuck at the in-laws place. I'm not commenting on every post just to save time but I am reading all of them.

Such a handsome donkey he is and you're right, we'd all love our very own Bellis
I too want a donkey. But right now I have no room. :)
Camryn, maybe someday: )

Bellis seems so loving and calm you should just ride her to vet your confidence up again. :)
Bellis is beautiful.
